Use relevant pagination styles

Verne — Sat, 23 May 2009 02:34:40 +0000

Pagination is found all over the web – from blogs to galleries to directories – and choosing the right style of pagination to use has important implications for how your users sort through your pool of information. Most opt to go with the most common convention of using numbers (Page 1, 2, 3). However, consider how annoying page numbers can be for somebody sorting through a directory of people. On which page do people starting with the letter ‘k’ begin?

Whether you use numbers, letters, dates or any other convention, be considerate of the relevance of your pagination style with the content it is organizing.

Test your information architecture with Treejack

We put a lot of emphasis on optimizing usability, user interactions and user interfaces. One area of the user experience that we often overlook testing on is information architecture. This is likely due to an absence of methods to test the effectiveness of information architecture. Sam Ng of Optimal Workshop saw the gap and built Treejack – an online test that helps site owners make decisions on their information architecture.

From the Treejack site:

Run simple online tests to get real numbers. Upload your sitemap, set tasks and see the paths participants take for each task. Results will focus your efforts on the areas of the IA that matter most.
